Trust & Quality
Journal Metrics is built to help researchers verify journal metrics quickly and understand the publishing decisions around them. We document how data is maintained, how guides are reviewed, and how readers can request corrections.
See where journal records come from, how the Journal Metrics Score and CAS data are maintained, and what limitations users should keep in mind.
Review how guides are planned, checked, updated, and corrected before and after publication.
Learn how to confirm whether a journal is actually indexed in the major scholarly databases it claims.
Research Guides
These guides answer common journal selection, publishing, and metrics questions and create stronger internal paths for both users and crawlers.
What a free plagiarism checker for a research paper can and cannot tell you before submission, how journals run similarity checks, and how to handle text recycling, preprints and AI-detector scores.
How to choose between a scoping review and a systematic review: question type, appraisal, registration, PRISMA-ScR versus PRISMA 2020, and which journals accept each.
Scientific Reports faces an NLM indexing review. Understand the reported PubMed pause, what remains uncertain, and how to check your paper before submission.
The difference between narrative and systematic review, when to write a narrative review, where scoping reviews fit, and how medical journals decide what to desk reject.
Check a journal's indexing status, publishing practices, fees and research fit before you submit.
No single predatory journals list is complete or current. Compare Beall's list, Cabells Predatory Reports, DOAJ and hijacked-journal checkers, then use a five-step check for any journal.
